MANUAL TRAINING Development of the System in the Public Schools Here. ^ /HISTORY OF THE PAST TEN YEARS Training the Eye and Hand as Well as the Mind. TECHNICAL COURSES ASHIXGTON H A S heard wlih prldc.from a national authority, that hers Is "prob ably the most com plete system of man ual training tn the public schools" In this country, espe af'g) i daily as the latter ?kM' 1 It'll leads the world In Itflfl \ifl[ the excellence of this most recent move ment. And it Is not yet a decade since the humble beginning was made in the base ment of the Central Hitch School building, on O Btrc-et between <ith and Tth streets northwest. This course of mind-building and training, by the hand, begins with the llrst day the little child enters the public schools and ceases only when he or she leaves them. The history of the Introduction and devel opment of manual training In the public schools of the' District of Columbia is full Mrlnl Worker*. of interest. During the school year of 1KS4 "85. Professor Koyle, the then head of the physics d.'partment of the High School, reported or wrote to the District Com missioners advising the establishment of a shop for" wood work at the High School. After a year's delay a few tools were pro cured, together with two benches, a cir cular saw and the large wood lathe now in the wood turning room of the O street man ual training school. This equipment was set up in the southwest room of the base ment, and power connections were made with the fan engine. The beneficiaries of this system were boys from the advanced class In physics. As there was no one else to take charge Professor Koyle himself was the instruct or. although he made no claim to practical knowledge. The boys Insisted, and the pro fessor no doubt agreed with them, that the sum of his knowledge and experience In the matter was contained In a certain little led book, his constant shop companion. This statement may be more readily be lieved by the manual training boy of today after he is told that the professor waa act ually on the point of giving the first lesaon at the lathe by putting In a piece of 6 by 6 oak timber and beginning the cutting with .a chisel. The timely appearance ot Mr. Sherman, then Janitor ot the High School, saved fr< m destruction tlu- foundations of the building and preserve) for future use fulness the lives of the instructor and his class. The Klrxl Appropriation. The school year ending June if), 1S87, r-as a notable one in th<J history of the public schools of the District of Columbia as that in which manual training was regularly begun. The appropriation for the purpose, though sufficient perhaps for a beginning, The JIk #??-. was too small to admit of the Introduction of the system upon anjr extended scale. The establishment and flue equipment of a successful school of woodwork in the High School building was the utmost that could be effected with the means at the com mand of the board of trustees. An appro priation of *.*?.<??? for the purpose of Indus trial education for the following years ren dered |K)ssil>le a considerable enlargement of the facilities of manual training. Schools of woodwork were established In several localities for Instruction of mule pupils in the seventh and eighth grades, while at the HlghP School building a school of metal working, including iron and steel forging, molding and turning, was put In success ful o|>eration. Superintendent Powell in his annual report (or the year INMJ-N7 devoted considerable space to the subject of manual training, strongly advocating its value. At the beginning of tlrls i chcol year a trained teacher was secured, und a shop titled up with benches and wcod-working tools, in which ?JT, boys of the High School received instruction and practice one hour each w?'."k. The work was successful. It was not difficult to mar.sge It with the other regular courses ef study of the school. The boys seemed to like the work and showed no disposition to withdraw from the class. Although but one hour's Instruction per week was given each pupil a marked Improvement in the us# of tools was notic ed. and It Is known that many boys did corresponding work at home for practical and useful purposes, which was furthered at least. If not Induced, by the training and suggestions received In the school shop. The indications of the Interest In and profit by the training of hand aad eye In con nection with other school duties. It was be lieved,augured the succ?! of manual train ing in the rchool more convincingly than pages of philosophy aad argument on the subject. In anticipation of the establishment of more schools, five trained teachers, gradu ates of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute were secured. Two members of the normai training class of that year, having special adaptability, It was* believed, and having had much experience by home training In the arts of cookery, were induced early In the spring to enter a class for special train ing In cookery, in anticipation of being em ployed as teachers of cooking the succeed ing year. The colored schools were not overlooked so far as manual training was concerned In the month of April, 1S87, a school of carpentry, in which to teaclv the use of tools, was organized in a small basement room of the Miner building. The enroll ment In this school embraced all the boys of the High School and boys selected from the eighth, seventh and sixth grade schools. The whole number enrolled was 144. The boys were formed Into classes of six each. Bach class received weekly one hour of In struction. No unfavorable effect was per ceived upon the character of the usual work of the school room.

W. ikrili'llll EKi 1K*7-'S8, though ar. opportunity was given to send c lasses to the stoops on O street for work in wood. The reports of the princi pals of the schools sending such classes was to the effect that the hook work did not suffer In the least from the time given to hand work. At the opening of the school year a two-story building at tS-ti O street, opposite the High School, was rented, and the iirst floor fitted with boiler, engine and shafting, lathes, molding benches and forges. The second floor was furnished with twenty-four benches and sets of tools. Nearly coincident with the opening of the school year, all the boys In the High School were given an opportiuiity to elect the manual training branch. Two hours per week were devoted to the work. An exhi bition of manual training work was held in the old E street skating rink in May, INfcX. and a large percentage of the work sent frum the O stieet shops was made by the High School classes. The school for colored pupils, located in At tlie I.nthen. the latter part of the preceding school year In the Miner building, wa*. about January I, removed to Bethel Hall, on M street between l?lth and 17th streets north west. At the beginning of the school year a second class of this kind was organized and located temporarily In a basement room of the Banneker building. It was later removed to the Miller building, on U street between lith and 7th streets north west. As the buildings to which these schools were transferred afforded suitable accommodation, and were provided with ample facilities, In work benches, tools, and other essentials to successful training of this character, the classes were Increas ed from six to twelve pupils. In each school there were fifteen classes, which em braced In the aggregate 3l? pupils. Each pupil received weekly two consecutive hours of instruction. A Sternly Dt-vrlopiurtit. A number of new schools sprang into ex istence during the year 1888-'tfl>. An exten sion in manual training In the colored schools wua made in the partial fitting up of a shop for working In Iron. The appro priation was too Inadequate to allow other than a very small beginning. As the school year was quite far advanced before the preparation was sufficiently complete to al low It to begin, It was necessarily restricted to the first rftep of the prescribed course. Sewing in a systematized form was Intro duced Into the colored schools in January, 1S88, as were two schools of cookery. During the year 18W?-'90 carpentry and cooking were Introduced Into the Mott, Ben nlng road, Bennlng, Anacostla and Hillsdale schools, and were successful In each. A teacher's manual was Issued earlv In the ysur lSUO-'ai. Am additional shop was fitted up with benches and the necessary tools for colored pupils. It was located at the Kandall building, and In Instruction re stricted to the first year work In wood. This location served well the convenience of many loys attending the schools In South cast and Southwest Washington, and saved much time formerly lost in going; to and from the shop located in the Miller building. A feature of the manual training work of the school year ISttl-'fti was the Introduc tion of teachers' meetings, held at Inter vals. determined by the progress of the work. Oi.e of the change? made during the year was the Increasing of the time given to the work In the country schools. The In crease enabled a very creditable showing of special work to be made. Three large and well-lighted rooms were added to the Miller building for the use of colored pupils. The one on the first floor was used by the metal shop for the forge room; the one on the second floor was used by the shop In wood, and the one on the third floor was used as a kitchen. An ex hibition of the year's work, both In wood and metal, was held June 17 and 18, each day from 'J a. m. to 7 p. m., at the Miller building. There were not only many ex hibits, but In such variety and Improvement In workmanship over previous exhibitions as to reflect great credit upon the teachers. The opportunity to see the work of the schools in this department was availed of by hundreds of parents and citizens of all classes. There was no Increase In the num Icr of schools of cookery, but an additional teacher of sewing was appointed at the be ginning of the school year. The work of the year l??2-'03 was charac terised by steady, straightforward progress. Although until late In the year the hope of stndlng an exhibit to the world's fair Inspired both teachers and pupils, no extra crdlnary work for that purpose was made. The effort was merely to turn out the best possible results of the regular courses. The results attained In the county schools far exceeded In value those of any year pre ceding. The last year drawing for shop exercise* of the seventh and eighth grade pupils waB Incorporated Into the regular work In draw ing in those grades. Now drawings are made from models In the school room, taken to the manual training shops, and there models are made from the drawings. Direc tor Chamberlain also conceived the idea of CaMtlc. suppl>lng the grade teachers with work.nff drawings. In order to give them samples from which to instruct the pupils In the school room. - A Technical Coarse. An important change In the High School work mark -d the opening of the present school year. Heretofore the High School pupils could elect to devote two hours each we* to manual training, but. If they de sired, can now < mlt a prescribed study an! spend six hours per week In the show. This led to the establishment of a technical ?mrso in the High School, which has a two-fold object In Tlf?. It has been *? planned that a hoy may get very ii.?rtv as iirotd an filtration In the t<*chnl<al ' our* t * in ariV other courae. In addlthm to manual training.

A large number of pupils have begun work In the technical < oarae.
